![]() Hi itzjas0n the problem is more than likely your firewalls, windows & and your router -- It is not enough, with any firewall, to allow a limewire application access to the internet. that is a necessary step, but only one of two. The other step is to open the application's listen port to incoming traffic. The first step doesn't do this. You must tell the firewall to allow incoming traffic on port # xxxxx - whichever it is that you're using. Finally you could always use port forwarding (I know you tried it already but did youy use these instructions) (portforwarding speedstream 5100) Most important is setting up a static ip (static IP Instructions) let us know how you get on
